Summary

Check Elementary is a public elementary school located in Check, VA, serving grades PK-7 with 289 students. It is part of the Floyd County Public Schools district, which is ranked 56 out of 129 districts in Virginia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Check Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 709 and 969 out of around 1,100 schools and a 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces several challenges, including low student performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests, which are generally below the district and state averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate is 50% compared to 74.77% for the district and 72.89% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low in English Reading, with 3rd grade proficiency ranging from 44-45% compared to around 67% for the district and the state. However, the school does perform better in certain areas, such as 5th and 7th grade math, where proficiency rates are above 70%. Additionally, Check Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12% to 26.4% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

While Check Elementary's overall performance is low, its ranking for low socioeconomic status students is much higher, suggesting that this subgroup is performing better relative to their peers statewide. The school's performance is also generally lower than the nearby Floyd Elementary, which is also in the Floyd County Public Schools district and outperforms Check Elementary on most SOL tests and has a higher overall ranking. However, Check Elementary does perform better than some of the more distant schools, such as Eastern Montgomery Elementary, which is part of the Montgomery County Public Schools district and has significantly lower test scores and a lower overall ranking.
